The filing includes a handful of pictures which demonstrate the wand-like controller’s interchangeable face buttons, as well as its ability to snap together in interesting ways. Examples include two units connected at the base to create a Darth Maul-esque lightsaber, in addition to a person performing a bicycle kick with devices strapped to his arms and legs. Yeah, this is never coming out.

Update: As has been correctly – and somewhat forcefully – pointed out in the comments section below, this patent first emerged a long time ago. We’ve left the article in tact so you can laugh at the image. We still reckon that the idea of performing a bicycle kick in front of a television is pretty funny.

You mean you can't pull off a no-handed bicycle kick within a few feet of your tv? I thought y'all were soccer enthusiasts. But srsly, ankle and sound sensors? I'm scared of what Japanese devs will do with this : )
